I’m still thinking of my future sustainable, green roof-having, small house. I keep looking around (RSS, beloved) and I see things around.
I don’t know if this is a render or real. I know it’s possible that it’s real. Green roofs are as old as humanity. Why green roofs? Maintenance, y’all. Cheap maintenance, great insulation. And yes, nature and all that shit. It only needs to be thought about when building the house’s structure; one does not simply add a green roof.
This one is very interesting to me because it’s made of hempcrete. The design is too rough for me, though. Put some hardwood radiant heating floors inside with nice rugs and we can talk.
Okay, that’s a bit ridiculous, isn’t it? But it’s not. You can’t integrate a house with nature more and that should be architecture #1 goal. No roofs, no fences, no walls. Maintenance is probably very low. It might blow sand inside a lot though. Disappearing in earth’s crust while feeling very safe and practicing self-care?? Yessir. What if people walk around? Hide cameras in rocks, set a bunch of old school bear traps and there won’t be people walking around for long.
